Book Review: What Casts the Shadow? by Seth Mullins: A Soul Searching Story

What
Casts the Shadow? (The Edge of the Known Book 1) By Seth Mullins belongs to Literature
& Fiction, Metaphysical genres. If you like these genres, you can’t afford
to miss reading it. The book is about a young disturbed rock musician, a
spiritual mentor and belonging to the group of generation who are craving for
someone to emerge and show a concrete path to follow. Seth Mullins has written
this book that makes you think deep inside, introspect within and help you try
finding out the truth within. The story emerges as a connecting agent between
deep secrets of reality and our souls; and in turn tries to find out a way to
fill the gap between the two.

What Casts the Shadow?(The Edge of the Known Book 1) By Seth Mullinsis story of Brandon Chane. A small
clash in front of a performance venue turned out to be quite critical and that
is when Brandon suddenly recognizes that his life is too distant from the
reality and is out of control to an extreme extent. It has gone beyond control
and even the music won’t be able to heal the wounds. That is when he met with
Saul Mason, a soul therapist, and meeting with him becomes a turning point of
his life. There emerges a hope that Saul is the person for whom probably
Brandon was waiting all his life, to get right direction in his life, to get
his wounded heart healed and get the life back on track. Saul has a good track
record of such kind. Brandon really was starving for someone to get his life
out of chaos and to save him from getting into an irreversible mess.

What Casts the Shadow?(The Edge of the Known Book 1) By Seth Mullins touches some
harsh realities of life by way of Brandon Chane. Brandon’s confidence has been
shattered through the insulting behavior of his father who always questioned
his worth. And that caused a major slippage in his nature from a normal path,
converting into a somewhat violent person. A conflict arose in his personality
that always questioned the two kind of personalities developed within – one personality
that of a musician that his heart always starved for, and another of a violent
person. Overall an interesting read.
